Awards Unsolicited Proposal for the
Health Communication Initiative
Program
Office of Clinical and
Preventive Services, Indian Health
Service, Department of Health and
Human Services.
ACTION: Notice of award of a singlesource unsolicited grant to Johns
Hopkins University in Baltimore,
Maryland.
AGENCY:
Recipient: Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, Maryland.
Purpose of the Award: Cooperative
agreement to collect, develop, package
and distribute information to American
Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN)
communities to address the coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID–19)-specific
recommendations on healthcare, in a
culturally sensitive way.
Amount of Award: $127,644 in Fiscal
Year (FY) 2020.
Period of Performance: April 24,
2020–August 24, 2020.
SUMMARY: The Office of Clinical and
Preventive Services (OCPS) announces
the award of a single-source cooperative
agreement in response to an unsolicited
proposal from Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, Maryland. The
proposal submitted was not solicited
either formally or informally by any
federal government official.
OCPS performed an objective review
of the unsolicited proposal from Johns
Hopkins University (JHU) to develop
information on proper actions to
mitigate the spread of COVID–19, in a
culturally sensitive way. The Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public
Health (JHSPH) Center for American

Indian Health (CAIH) mission is to work
in partnerships with AI/AN
communities to raise their health status,
self-sufficiency, and health leadership
to the highest possible level. This
mission is accomplished through
research, training and education, and
service. The CAIH has more than nine
facilities and approximately 100 staff in
the Southwestern tribal communities to
assist the Indian Health Service (IHS) in
containing and mitigating COVID–19,
while building a response model and set
of communication materials for all IHS
regions nationwide. The CAIH can draw
on broad expertise from JHU for
additional guidance and
recommendations on best practices as
the situation evolves.
The materials will be developed from
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) guidance.
Based on an internal review of the
proposal and the immediate response of
the IHS to address the COVID–19 public
health emergency, OCPS determined
that the proposal has merit.
The long history between the federal
government and Native American Tribes
and people has often been less than
ideal. There are still barriers to the
Native American community accepting
instruction or direction from the federal
government. There is great value in
having a third party that has a good
history with the community to gather,
package and deliver recommendations,
in a culturally sensitive way, on staying
safe from this disease, when those
recommendations may run contrary to
cultural norms. This delivery avenue
will be more acceptable to the
community, and will be more readily
recognized for implementation within
AI/AN communities.
This award is being made
noncompetitively because there is no
current, pending, or planned funding
opportunity announcement under
which this proposal could be competed.
OCPS has identified two additional key
reasons to support rationale for
awarding this unsolicited proposal:
1. The JHU CAIH is well known in the
AI/AN communities for robust
